Thomas and forward Channing Frye will be sent to the Lakers in exchange for guard Jordan Clarkson and forward Larry Nance Jr., Wojnarowski reported.

Thomas has played in 15 games so far this season, averaging 27.1 minutes per game and 14.7 points per game.

But the Cavs haven't been the same since Thomas came aboard, and the former All-Star has struggled trying to find his rhythm and shot. It has created a trickle-down effect through Cleveland's lineup, weakening an already feeble defensive team and raising tensions in the locker room.
